Five Cinco de Mayo drink ideas from Bohemia

Cinco de Mayo is Thursday, and if you are looking to do something more than pop the top on a Mexican beer, the folks at Bohemia sent along the following five drink recipes. Several are part of the brand’s Frontera Fiesta partnership with the chef Rick Bayless.

Bohemia MicheladaServes 1

A lime and a small plateful of coarse (Kosher) salt

¼ cup fresh lime juice

About ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or to taste

About ½ teaspoon hot sauce (such as Frontera Red Pepper), or to taste

1 12-ounce Bohemia beer

1. Cut the lime in half. Rub one half over the rim of a large (16-ounce) beer mug to moisten it. Invert
the mug and dip lightly in the salt.
2. Fill the mug half full with ice, then add the lime juice, Worcestershire and hot sauce. Fill the mug
with beer, stir just enough to combine everything, then enjoy.

1. Mix raspberry juice concentrate (undiluted) with lime juice in a pitcher. Refrigerate until serving
time.
2. To serve, pour about 1/3 cup of the raspberry mixture into chilled beer glasses. Top with chilled
Bohemia. Garnish with raspberries for a refreshing summer beverage.
